I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Google called me to see if I was interested in part time remote consulting, 3-5 hour per week in a vertical market with which I have expertise. They requested interviews. I inquired as to the feasibility of conducting the interview over teleconference. They preferred me fly to Seattle (I live in Eastern time zone). They made me pay for all travel expenses up front out of my pocket. I interviewed with Sven people, 30 minutes each. Four of the seven were not in Seattle and I interviewed using a video link.
Then they took twice as long as promised to give me an answer. They chose not to hire me and would not disclose a reason. My interview was two and a half months ago, expenses were submitted eight days after the interviews. I am still waiting to be reimbursed despite weekly apologies and more empty promises.
All in all a very unsatisfying experience
Long! Dragged on for far too long. HR call followed by R1 and sometimes even R2 before the superday interviews.
Entire process took close to 2 months. They don't know what they want in a candidate.
Dodged a bullet.
